Currently

BookReady Player One by Ernest Cline. It's sci-fi, which I should love, but I'm not enchanted with the writing or the level of sophistication. The 80s pop culture references are fun, though.

Music
Marcus Foster

Perfume
Andy Tauer's Tableau de ParfumsMiriam (the giveaway is still open!), DSH Pandora and Uncle Serge's Chergui. Please tell me not to try and layer them.

Makeup
I got a Shu Uemura makeover while in Paris and I'm more in love with the brand than ever. Please come back to the US.

Frequently worn outfit / item
I had a couple of "get ready quickly and head out of the house NOW" instances in the last couple of weeks that found me putting on a print DVF wrap top and interesting accessories while wearing black yoga pants. I promise not to do it to often, but it works in a pinch.

Food
I shouldn't even be thinking about food after Paris. I could use a nice eclair now.

Bane of my existenceMy right wrist has seen better days.

Joy
Their names are Olivia (left) and Cedric.

Anticipation
The new TV season. Could I be any lamer?

Wish List

Something about this Lanvin look really speaks to me. The problem is that the cardigan is actually cocoon-shaped and gives one a saggy butt, unless she's extremely tall. Which I'm utterly not. I guess I'll have to settle for the gloves.

Random Thoughts
The very last musical bits in the teaser for American Horror Story (a series I have no intention to watch) sounds both haunting and familiar. Anyone knows what it is?

Currently I'm obsessed with finding a better foundation, going around to counters and asking for samples.

And happiness over my new foundation brush which is a funny coincidence. I had told a friend I was looking for a new foundation because mine looked too obvious...she went to Sephora and bought me the Pro #55 for my birthday on their rec. Happy happy, but of course I had to come home and see what you had said about it..and was so tickled it made the list! And wow, it does make a big difference.

Now waiting eagerly for the blush and eyeliner brush reviews, next on the list to upgrade. And pretty please, a post on brush care and cleaning??

I love this post. I don't know how I ever missed the series. That Lanvin sweater is gorgeous. Good for my pear shape because it would skim the hips. And I wish Shu would come back, too. I am clinging to my very last M Beige 800, 804, and 834, and I've been nursing M Grey 943 for a few years. Sad.

American Horror Story is something I'd watch. I enjoy Glee (though I am always a season behind), and Dylan McDermott ... Yum. That brings me to the book part. I am almost ashamed to admit that I have been lured into my first horror novel since freshman year college, and I've just started reading Off Season by Jack Ketchum. Apparently it's quite controversial, so of course I was intrigued. So far the writing is excellent. Maybe a little too much so. House of Mirth is usually about all the horror I can take.

My favorite perfume for this in-between part of the season (really my favorite time of the year) is Ecume de Rose Les Parfums de Rosine. Beauty Habit is having their F&F 20% off right now, and I think I need to buy more of this scent.

Hey, I'm all about the black yoga pants! I don't wear them out, but at home it's all about comfort. Black cropped yoga pants and a white v-neck tee under a dove grey cashmere cardigan, hair in top knot. And lipstick. Yep, that's always part of the outfit.

I LOVE those little piggie eclairs in your photo. How cute!

Meanwhile, I am anticipating my new Kindle Fire and the book by the CEO of Besame Cosmetics. And a week of me-time over the Columbus holiday!

BookToday, I ordered the book from the CEO of Besame Cosmetics. I'm looking forward to all of the pretty pictures!

MusicThe Weeknd, always The Weeknd

PerfumeWhoa, I need to try layering DSH Pandora with Chergui. I've been all about my Pandora sample lately. Also, I received samples of every Roxana Villa fragrance, and it's been like Christmas playing with them all.

MakeupI'm a little indifferent right now, believe it or not!

Frequently worn outfit / itemBeat up flats and skinny jeans.

FoodToo many cookies. Too many cookies!

Bane of my existencePretty much everything, at the moment. I'm going through a very trying time right now and am not coping very well.
